We are delighted to announce that we have a very special evening members event coming up soon with Sir David Wootton who - amongst many other things is - a former Common Councillor of Farringdon Within, former President of the Farringdon Ward Club and former Lord Mayor. He remains active in many fields, a true City leader - just glance at his Wikipedia entry.

The format of the evening will be a relaxed "fireside chat" with our President, David Selves, with a Q&A afterwards. There will also be an opportunity to eat, drink and "break bread" at the famous Punch tavern with its beautiful Victorian decor. The food is superb as this menu shows with a cash Bar until 10.00pm:

Stephen Twining

Stephen Twining is the 10th generation of this famous tea clan. He began working for the company in 1985 and moved up through the ranks to become Director of Corporate Relations, which in layman’s terms is “tea ambassador.” Stephen enjoys the enviable position of traveling the world to inform and enlighten people about tea in general and to publicize his namesake brand.

There is no name more venerable in the British tea trade than Twinings. In 1711, Queen Anne, a tea lover of some note, appointed Thomas Twining her official purveyor of teas, and Twinings have held Royal Warrants to every king or queen since that time. For ten generations spanning three centuries, this tea dynasty has reigned supreme across the British Empire.

The Twining family trace their heritage to the Gloucestershire township of Twyning at the confluence of the Avon and Severn rivers. Twyning derives from the Old English word for “between the rivers” and, despite its spelling, was originally (but no longer) pronounced TWIN-ning.

There will be no charge for these events, just use the bar and do bring friends!
